Ron Rivera is a class act for that. Well, for many things. But today, for that.

ESPN is dying because they paid a poo ton for the NBA and people started cutting the cord. they bet on the fact that subs would go up and it tanked. its hard to cry for the network as a whole because they did this to themselves, they are by far the biggest reason your cable bill is so high. 

100% agree. And it sucks that people that had nothing to do with negotiating those TV rights deals are getting the ax today because of a dreadful deal made by management. This makes me hate lebron even more.

Whatever you may think of ESPN these are still people with families. I have a few friends that work at ESPN and they are terrified right now.

Exactly. I see you're in Connecticut, but ESPN has a big presence in Charlotte too and people are losing their jobs today. Not just "on-air personalities" either.

I've been texting two of my friends all day one is a PA and the other is a journalist and they're saying it's not over yet. Very unsettling.

ESPN "letting" the laid off reporters/sportscasters tweet out and report their own releases.  Cue hipster irony.

Jayson Stark firing is a little shocking...super smart baseball guy.

[Cary Kollins]

I'm never happy to see someone lost their job....BUT Dilfer was god awful and the prototypical dumb idiot former player that just spouts the stupidest poo off the top of his head.

ESPN was dumb to let nonsense like that on-air in the first place.

[Montsta]

Damn Ethan Strauss I like that guys coverage of the Warriors.

Seeing conservative twitter with the hot takes on twitter are insane. its some kind of victory for them

Ive turned the channel many times simply because of Dilfer but hate for anyone to lose their job.  I think I will miss Berman personally even if most folks dont like him.
